"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

it's cute that they think they're in a marketplace but we know that given the regulators are involved, the winning bid will be from whoever gives Trump the tackiest bribe. Paramount should just give him the Mr Spock Award For Most Logical Brain, a big gold brain on a stick.
Paramount is now reportedly looking to launch a hostile bid for Warner Bros
They feel their $30 a share all-cash offer is higher than what Netflix offered — in terms of cash, stock and the value of the cable business spinoff

A civilisation that contains destitute poor as well as billionaires is an abject failure. A civilisation that contains trillionaires is one that will soon collapse. You've all been warned, many times, by many people, and yet here we fucking are.

Chuffed & slightly gobsmacked that I took these away from the @hogsofwaaagh.bsky.social event this weekend. Always lovely to get a best painted but best overall when I only won one game is amazing.
Big thanks to Jim for running it & to my smashing (and patient) opponent.
Will be back.

Amazing weekend again at Mancunian Carnage Teams. 5 cracking games against fantastic people. But stupidly didn't take any photos.
Personally went 2-3 but came away with a painting nom 🙌. Our team even got 4/5 fave game votes.
Massive shoutout to @ajghostarm.bsky.social for another legendary event

Superb weekend running Carnage Teams. It’s a good feeling of exhaustion following an event that’s been so non stop with brilliant people. Not a single gripe of grumble.
Thanks to all the attendees who made it & well done to the victorious.
It’ll be back.

Been playing with 3D printing & finally completed a whole model that’s not just scatter terrain.
Behold; my storm portal for the Tombcast.
On exactly the same base size as the actual piece, but doesn’t look like a public convenience. Winner.

Odd day to be in Versailles really, especially in this room.
The cascading impact of the short sighted moustachioed gits who lauded it over the Germans just over a hundred years ago shaped everything about the next century.

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.
A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19
What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us?
